Product Overview

Welcome to The New Generation of The Kitty Tube™

  

Introducing GENERATION 4! 

 

Here at The Kitty Tube™ we are always thinking about the safety and well-being of your kitty. 

With that in mind, we've taken Gen 3's vapor proof barrier and lid vent cap, and added our exclusive flow-through foam layer. 

Gen 3's features + Gen 4's innovations = The driest kitty on the block!

 

 The new features of Generation 4 include: 

l 15% thicker bottom insulation than the previous model

l  Insulation is elevated off the bottom of The Kitty Tube to keep it higher off the cold ground

l  Specialized flow-through foam layer is now placed under the bottom insulation of The Kitty Tube

l  The flow through bottom layer prevents all moisture caused by condensation from ever reaching bedding

l  The new and improved drainage system eliminates moisture out of the bottom of the shelter

 

The Kitty Tube is Guaranteed to keep the weather out and is simply the highest quality insulated outdoor cat house on the market today!

 The Kitty Tube with Straw comes with:

  • Door Awning & Clear Flap Door: The door awning improves rain/snow protection and includes a gasket to eliminate any water weepage around the edges. The clear flap door is designed to repel wind and helps to keep heat inside the Kitty Tube during cold weather seasons. The clear flap door can be installed and removed easily without tools. NOTE: The door awning set is also available for all older model Kitty Tubes with a logo. See separate listing. 

  • Vent Cap & Gasket: The vent cap was created to eliminate moisture laden air that can build up under the top lid. This moisture laden air can cause condensation in certain temperature swings. The vent cap serves the same purpose as the vents on the roof of your own home that expel excessive moisture in the winter and heat in the summer. The vent cap is very important in maintaining a dry interior for your cat. NOTE: This cap is also sold separately to install on all older model Kitty Tubes and will greatly improve its performance. A 1½ inch hole is needed on the top dead center of the lid to install. If retrofitting an older Kitty Tube, a standard 1 ½” hole saw is needed to make a hole for the vent cap.
  • Main Insulation with Scratch Guard™: This insulation set will cover the walls, floor and ceiling of The Kitty Tube. The Kitty Tube Scratch Guard™ and vapor proof insulation is easy to remove and clean. The new Scratch Guard™ material on all interior surfaces is moisture proof, mold proof, mildew proof and bacteria proof. Deodorizing and sanitizing of the interior is now a breeze, as cat urine or spray from a male cat will not soak into the Scratch Guard™.  The Scratch Guard™ material will virtually eliminate damage from clawing and will considerably reduce condensation from forming in cold temperatures.
  • Ventilation Hand Hole Awnings: The Kitty Tube includes awnings that protect the handle/ventilation holes in the lid from rain and snow. These awnings also provide a comfortable handle when removing the lid or moving the Kitty Tube.

The Feral Option Kitty Tube comes with straw. Straw is the preferred bedding for feral cats as it resists moisture and retains body heat as the cats can burrow into the straw. This option is recommended by most Cat Rescue Groups.

The Kitty Tube provides a safe, economical and maintenance free shelter for your cat. Designed for outdoor use, The Kitty Tube is fully insulated to be ultra warm in the winter. The shell is partially made from post-consumer recycled milk and detergent bottles making the Kitty Tube a very green product AND The Kitty Tube is MADE IN THE USA!

 The Kitty Tube has a removable top lid, is seamless in construction and is environmentally friendly due to the post consumer recycled content. The one piece construction provides for a smooth interior which is easily cleaned with a simple spray of the garden hose. The dome lid keeps your pet dry in even the heaviest of rains. The geometric shape resists wind and is naturally preferred by cats. The high quality, fully insulated Kitty Tube is strongly recommended for all outdoor cats and also creates a safe and secure haven if your cat is to give birth.

 

About our 1 door design: The unique door design provides easy passage for your cat, but will not allow a predator like dogs or coyotes to get to your cat.  The Kitty Tube was intentionally designed with only one door.  There are several reasons for this design:

  • With one door, the exceptionally insulated Kitty Tube will retain the majority of the heat your cat produces inside, compared to other designs with two doors that allow excessive air movement through the shelter.
  • One door will keep your cat safe and secure as predators cannot fit their head inside the unique door design of The Kitty Tube. Most small animals such as possums or raccoons are generally not a life threatening danger to your cat.
  • We feel it is a misconception to provide a second door for an escape in case of a predator attack.  If your cat leaves their safe haven of The Kitty Tube, it is now vulnerable to be caught by predators. Predators such as dogs and coyotes know how to catch a fleeing cat.
  • Most kittens born inside of a Kitty Tube are NOT moved as usual by their mother, as they feel safe inside!

Product Features and specs.

  • The Kitty Tube provides an economical, safe, and secure home for up to 3 cats. (Only 2 cats if you have the double insulated option.)
  • The Kitty Tube comes complete with a fully insulated shell, a removable top lid, enough straw for 2 to 3 changes, a main door awning with removable clear flap door, a vent cap for the top lid, a rubber plug for the optional heater hole and 2 hand hole awnings to protect the top ventilation holes.
  • The Kitty Tube is fully insulated on floor, walls and roof with quality, high R value insulation. All with the Scratch Guard™.
  • The hand hole openings can be adjusted to supply full flow through air ventilation for the summer and can be closed for the winter.
  • The Kitty Tube shell is very durable with a lifetime guarantee to never chip, crack or fade.
  • The dimensions are 24″ round x 24″ tall with lid on.
  • The bottom surface of The Kitty Tube is slightly elevated off the ground and incorporates a built in channel and drainage system to eliminate any subsequent moisture that might enter The Kitty Tube due to unforeseen circumstances.

    My cat loves it!

    Posted by Michelle on 2nd Oct 2013

    I bought the Kitty Tube for my outdoor cat. Technically, he is a feral cat that we feed, but over time, he has adopted our yard, and now lets us pet him. :) Last year we had a cardboard box for him with a blanket inside and a throw rug on top. He survived, but this year, I thought he needed something a little better. After searching online for an outdoor cat house, I decided to order The Kitty Tube. When it arrived, I took the top off and showed him inside so he knew it was for him, just like the directions said. He seemed nervous from my holding him and jumped out. I put the cover back on and left it there so hopefully at night when it got cold, he would know it was there for him. Well, a half hour later, he was already inside checking it out, and that night, he slept in The Kitty Tube! HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT! It's like his new home. I feel good knowing he is safe and protected. I am SO happy I bought it for him. Thank you for The Kitty Tube!

    Purrrfect!

    Posted by Kathleen Simonson on 1st Oct 2013

    Our new cat Tanner loves his new home. His previous owner (a neighbor) had been put out of thier house because of behaviorial issues(spraying). He has adopted us and we are happy to care for him. He is a sweet, loving kitty. We were thrilled to have found this shelter when searching the internet for something for him. We already had dogs that are not cat friendly, having him indoors was not an option. Once we received it and put it on hte porch he took to it right away. We now feel better that he has a safe, warm bed to protect him from the elements this winter.

    This is the MOST amazing product!

    Posted by Elaine on 22nd Sep 2013

    For years now, we have acquired stray cats from in and around our neighborhood. They show up, I take them to the vet and have them spayed/neutered, and vaccinated. We already have indoor cats and unfortunately it is out of the question to bring more inside. Having been a volunteer for the SPCA and Spay Today, I tend to lean toward caring for a colony as opposed to trapping the cats, knowing that they have a slim chance of being adopted at a shelter. The kitty tube has solved a problem for me. In the past, I had made little houses for the cats by using plastic storage bins and placed them on our carport. I had cut a hole in one end for an entrance/exit and then provided bedding for them. These provided shelter for them, but they weren't insulated. I went online a few weeks ago and found this product. I ordered the pillow, heater, and kitty tube. I received them last Thursday and put it together in a matter of minutes. It is a very solid product and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I put it on the carport and one of the cats took to it in a matter of seconds. I have seen two of the cats using the kitty tube at different times and I am hoping as soon as it gets a little cooler and the heater is turned on, it will attract the other two cats. If you are on the fence about buying one, please don't hesitate. It is better to get them used to the kitty tube before the weather gets very cold. I hope your cats enjoy theirs as much as mine do.

    Winter home

    Posted by Terrie S on 19th Sep 2013

    We have been feeding a feral cat for 1.5 years. We were lucky we had a mild winter last year. This year Spike will have a warm castle to protect him. We love this product! Sturdy with thick insulation!

    Perfect Outdoor Kitty House

    Posted by Paul & Bev on 8th Sep 2013

    We recently had a stray cat find us but with our other three rescue pugs we are unable to keep the new kitty in the house. We just received our new Kitty Tube and I was impressed with it right out of the box. It is well designed and perfect for a weatherproof, sturdy, and warm outdoor home for our new kitten here in PA. I really like the adjustable vents for warm weather and the awning is great for her to look out in rainy weather and stray dry and warm. Our new kitty took to it the very first night and now sleeps in it every night..she loves it!!! To help her adjust we put her old blanket inside plus a a few treats in it to entice her inside for the first time. We highly recommend this for a perfect home for any feral outdoor cat!!

    a great product

    Posted by barbara on 7th Sep 2013

    Hi thanks so much for sending me the kitty tube. Our outside kitty huckleberry who is fiv positive can not come in with my other cats . I worry because he needs a warm home to survive the winter. The kitty tube is well insulated and well made. It was cool here last night but when he came out of the kittytube this morning his belly was nice and warm. God bless you for making a product that can protect our outdoor kitties. Thank you so much.

    Picky Cat

    Posted by Unknown on 4th Sep 2013

    Our cat is really picky when it comes to what she likes. I was skeptical about buying the kitty tube because I didn't think she would use it. I was wrong. She was using it the first night. She seems to enjoy it and I'm sure she will love it when the rainy winter comes.

    A very nice, warm and safe kitty house.

    Posted by Unknown on 3rd Sep 2013

    Our outside kitties have not used the new house, but hopfully when the cold winds of Michigan begin to blow they will. I also appreciate the house is made from recycled materials, and it also looks nice on our deck. I can only hope the kitties will like it as much as we do!!

    So far, so good!

    Posted by Tirrod on 30th Aug 2013

    My kitty tube arrived on time and was super easy to set up. I was concerned that the two "strays" that I bought it for would be too suspicious of something new, but they seemed to adjust just fine. My only suggestion is this...since I live in an urban area, I needed to add a cable and lock to make sure that my Kittytube doesn't get stolen. Right now, I am using the vent opening for the cable. I am hoping it doesn't present a problem when I want to close the vent in the winter. Some sort of a pre drilled hole for securing it would be a great addition.
